G4 Tech TV Reviews Three New HDTV DVRs
Thomas Hawk writes "G4techTV does a review of three of the new HDTV recorders. Noticeably absent is Microsoft's Media Center 2005. The Hughes HD 10-250 gets the highest marks and is the 'G4tech TV Lab Pick.' Although I haven't used the other two HDTV recorders I have to say I would concur on their opinion of TiVo's DirecTV box."
One thing that should be noted is that Leo Laporte's Call For Help show got continued by G4TechTV Canada in a primetime slot... but the show is nowhere to be found on the USA version of the channel. Odd for a show to get upgraded and canceled at the same time by two networks that share the same name.
Leo speaks his mind and if that means that he "disses" some company I could see why advertisers might be upset.
The new version of the show is a bit glitchy (what would you expect - it's Canadian) but since I am a newcomer to watching computer-related stuff on TV I'm hooked.
It is very possible that G4 Tech TV (Canada) gets funding from various government agencies in the form of CanCon. So Leo's probably making only 60% of what he could but at least he gets free health care in case Basil zooms in too close and breaks his ankle.
